Condition
Good condition overall. The surface of the plaster appears to have been cleaned with remains of an old patina imitating terracotta, particularly visible in the crevices. A few minor chips and scratches are visible at several places, in particular to the drapery of her proper left shoulder. Some retouch of the paint at several places, in particular to her proper right cheekbone and the front of her chest. The red marble base with a some minor chips to the lower edges appears to have been restored with a fine restored break visible.

Catalogue Note
Un buste similaire en marbre signé et daté 1784, provenant de la famille d'Hautefeuille, est conservé dans la collection Weisweiller.
Un plâtre similaire a figuré dans la collection François Flameng (1856-1923), graveur et illustrateur français. Ce dernier affirmait que le présent buste représentait la mère du général d'Hautefeuille enfant, ce qui correspond aux dates de Marie du Pin de la Guérivière, seconde épouse de Joseph Texier d'Hautefeuille. Certains y ont également vu la fille de Pajou, Angélique Reine, née en 1762. Un buste en terre cuite de ce modèle a été présenté en vente à Paris en 2008.
